    F me, too. Alex, don't worry about the suspension only being seen from below. First of all, it's a masterpiece. Second of all, it's not alone. Everything you're doing is gorgeous... including your "disappearing" a-hole. That stainless patch was VERY well done.

    Keep it up. The work, thread, and pictures are amazing.

    5992 Trip to Greece, Restoration and Speculations

    Thank you Alan!
    Needless to say that I am not a professional TIG welder, but patching the frame gave me good exercise. Yet welding thick steel is much easier that this thin stainless!

    I was scared shitless while doing that cause the high temperature brings the thin fender to warping. I had to hammer it back to place.

    I may look easy in 3 photos but I will just say I was lucky. Had I a second fender to do it over? Dono if I have the guts!

    Now back to work. I want this baby on the road by September!

    Major US vehicle get together in Athens called V-day. Harley's, muscle cars, beer n chicks in leather gonna be there. The only Delorean in Greece is expected with great anticipation....

    Fuck me, i'm jealous of your energy.

    May I give you a little suggestion? Protect those seats. Put a bedsheet or blanket over them, anything really. I'm sure you are a capable mechanic, but you are working with screwdrivers, cutting tools, soldering irons, etc, near those pretty seat covers. It needs only one little moment, and it's fucked up.

    Carry on.

    Thanx Rob... Yes I have thought about that.

    Speaking of energy.... I too have a "little" health problem that I have never mentioned.... today I was in so much pain, I did not have enough strength detach the nut from the ratchet....
    But I can't just sit around... I will rather die doing something than survive doing nothing! !!!
